Landscape Masterplan Goals:

Eco

- c

o m m o n s

• A significant component of Georgia Tech’s Landscape Master Plan is the creation of the Eco-Commons to achieve 50% reduction in stormwater runoff.

• The Eco-Commons is an engineered waterway designed to replicate stormwater management of the original stream. The Campus Landscape Diagram

The Ecological Landscape

The Human Landscape

• Develop integrated, ecologically-based landscape and open space systems

• Enhance living, working and learning environment

• Unify the campus with a distinct sense of place

• Increase tree canopy-replace aging trees• Create an Eco-Commons (80 acres)• Implement ecological performance

requirements of 50% reduction of storm water runoff
